I have a pair of 8gb USB drive & a 16gb SDHC card I'll be using for an Asus EEE.

Is there any issue with formatting them as NTFS? I'm not going to be putting the SDHC in a camera, and want to avoid the 4gb file limitations of FAT32, as I'll probably have a virtual machine running on the system. However, I'm thinking there might be more writes to the drive with NTFS rather than FAT32, which for flash drives could be bad.
 
You can always split your virtual machine up in 2GB chunks. Thats what I do and I keep mine FAT32.
